SuperJon 175 Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 There are a lot of amazing singers in the world. I've made a small list in no particular order of people that have voices that I could listen to all day. There's a lot of people that I'm leaving off as I can't think of all of them off the top of my head. I do have a question about one of them though. I just started really listening to Donny Hathaway's stuff. Absolutely love his voice. Is there anyone else that sings that style that anyone would recommend?1. Donny Hathaway2. Brian Mcknight3. Luther Vandross4. Those 2 guys from Boys II Men5. B.B. King6. Seal7. Gregg Allman8. Elvis (certain songs, especially If I can Dream)9. Billie Holliday10. Dude from Coldplay (say what you want)11. Michael Mcdonald12. Josh Groban13. Michael Buble14. Frank Sinatra15. Tony Bennett16. Stevie Wonder17. Billy Joel (younger)18. Pavarotti19. Bocelli20. Jason Mraz21. Jonny Lang22. Aretha Franklin23. Diana Ross24. Mariah Carey25. Whitney Houston26. Christina Aguilara27. Marvin Gaye28. Michael Jackson Link to post Share on other sites
renaedawn 1 Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I agree with you on that guy from Coldplay, even if it is gay.No list of great singers can be complete without Chris Cornell, that guy from Bloc Party and Nancy Wilson.*Edit - Whitney Houston used to have an amazing voice but smoking crack has killed her vocal cords and sadly her 8 octave range is probably more like 2 octaves now.

aadams_22 3 Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 If you're going by pure voices, regardless of genre, then you can add Carrie Underwood, Sara Evans, Charlotte Church, Frankie Valli, Finbar Wright, Anthony Kearns, and Ronan Tynan to that list. Link to post Share on other sites
